I agree. And statements such as, ""Quality", like beauty, can be a

Ok, so share with us what the term "quality" means to you, and also
just why everyone else must agree with your standards. That would be
interesting. You may detect ugliness and lack of quality that extend
all the way to the bone in cases where others would disagree. For
instance, know of anybody who is married to a person that you think is
just flat out "ugly," or a real (insert bitch or ******* here), yet in
the eyes of the spouse that person is one heck of a good looking and
superb human being?

Ever watch somebody eating a dish in a restaurant that would make you
gag and puke?
Happens all the time. One man's trash is another's treasure. It's
perfectly OK for people to look at a common group of factors and arrive
at diverse conclusions. I expressed an opinion that this boat will
prove adequately stout for its intended purposes. If you have been
aboard an example of the same craft and have formed a different opinion
that could be the basis for an interesting discussion.
